    Anecdotal for sure, but I can’t remember the last time I actually had to step foot in a bank. I’d argue that banks CAN cut staff as I can’t be alone in not really needing to go into a physical shop to bank anymore. All my banking requires an appointment.

    However, fast food, in particular pizza places, need delivery drivers. Especially pizza hut. I can’t for the life of me think that people are going to go in and sit at a pizza hut anymore… what is it, 1988?

        Also half the quality of service. I only order delivery from places with dedicated delivery staff because without fail, food delivered by a gig worker is cold, incorrect, missing, late or otherwise fucked up.

        The trend has been that delivery is getting worse, not better

      To be fair, just because you may be out of touch with some part of business or society doesn’t mean it no longer exists or operates… That’s incredibly self centered. We are all out of touch with various industries, but that doesn’t mean it no longer operates as intended.

      Every pizza shop I’ve been to in the last 5 years has been bustling with sit down eaters. Just not pizza hut.

      There’s a bunch of old dumbasses who refuse to learn any new skills. We’re still gonna need people at banks until uhhhh… they’re gone.

        I’m sure no one has needed to wire large sums of money or get cashiers checks these days, no one buys homes either anymore right? Fraud definitely doesn’t exist either 🤣

        Just because you don’t have a use for it doesn’t mean others don’t. I’m sure there are many reasons I can’t think of for wanting to go into a bank in person, if that works for the folks that do it, how is that a problem? Does that harm you?

          If you’re a small business, you very well might be at the bank at the end of every single day to deposit earnings for the day. I know when I was managing a cellphone shop, I’d be heading down to the bank across the street every Friday to drop off everything we made that week.

        Yeah, and all those dickhead small-business owners who need to make deposits. Dildo.
